The Attorney General

A briefing for Senators Church and Tower has been provided
covering warrantless electronic surveillances { surreptitious entry for
recovery of eryptogranhic material, teletype eoverage requested by the
National Seeurity Agency and electronic penctration of corunwnications
equipment requested by the National Security Acency.% Tne White House
asked that agencies of the intelligence community not 7éspond to any
requests from the ESC covering these matters until the briefing had been
given. The goal of the briefing was to confine knowledge of these matters
to Senators Church and Tower and avoid proliferation of this information
throughout the S3C staff. In view of this, it is recoimended that the
enclosed iaaterial not be made available to the SSC staff until it is dis-
cussed with the \white House. I further urge that it be made clear to the
White House that if this c.aterial is to be made available to the SSC that
access to the enclosed material be limited to Senators Church, Tower,
and &5C Ctatfi Director William Willer only.

: On September 17, 1975, Mary Wagner, an attorney in the office

of the Deputy Attorney General, accompanied by Bruce Baird, an attorney
recently appointed to the Deputy's office, met with me in my office and
advised that they have been assigned the responsibility of drafting guidelines
for the Attorney. General's approval concerning legal representation of
Department employees. She explained that they view the problem of

legal aGvice to employees as larger than the request made by the FEL
concerning Bureau employees, and that the guidelines would address the
larger problem. She asked for my suggestions concerning the proposed

guidelines.

I told Miss Wagner that in the beginning of the inquiries received
from the Senate and House Select Committees, we had been advised by the
Department that a conflict of interest would prohibit Department attorneys,
includixg lawyers in the FBI, from providing legal representation individuallys
to the employees of the FBi in matters relating to the Senate and House a:
inguiries. As a consequence we have been advising our employees of the
procedures involved in Congressional committee interviews and appearances
for testimony; the limitations imposed on the employees in regard to sensitive
areas of testimony which might require special approval; their right to
counsel and of the limitation imposed on us that personal counsel would have
to be privately employed. I told Miss Wagner that my reading of the
Attorney General's memorandum for the Director dated September 12, 1975
was that the Attorney General intended to make personal legal advice available
to employees requesting it and that we would like for the guidelines to be
written broadly enough for smpiovess to receive a) assistance of legal

counsel.

Memorandum to Mr. Adams
Re: Legal Advice for Present or Former Bureau Employees

°

I suggested to her that the Attorney General might approve the
appointment of a special counsel within the Department whose res ponsibilities
would be somewhat similar to those imposed on the Special Counsel for
Intelligence Coordination in that he would be relieved of other Department
responsibilities and his allegiance would be only to discharging the obligations
of personal counsel when requested by an employee. I suggested that such
special designation would permit the Department lawyer so assigned to
avoid the conflict of interest problem and at the same time it would impose
on him the obligations of the attorney-client privilege.

Miss Wagner commented that she understood that in some cases
handled by the Civil Division of the Department, Government attorneys
represent employees in civil suits, but require that the employee waive
the attorney-client privilege to the extent that should the Government employee
become aware of information that should be communicated to another division
of the Department, the attorney would furnish such information to the other
division. If the attorney learned of criminal conduct on the part of the
employee, he would not be prohibited by the attorney-client privilege from
making such conduct known to the Department.

Itold Miss Wagner that an essential element of the relationship
between the special counsel for furnishing advice to employees would be
that the attorney-client privilege would apply and it would not be possible
for such a waiver to be required in exchange for providing legal advice.
She agreed.

I suggested to Miss Wagner that the Department special counsel
could be available for consultation concerning such matters as appearances
before Congressional committees and for such preliminary advice as would be
useful to employees called to testify. At the point where the special counsel
determined that the employee required more in-depth legal assistance in order
to protect his legal rights, the special counsel could recommend to the
Deputy Attorney General that the employee should be afforded an opportunity
to have private counsel whose fees would be paid by the Department of
Justice.

Memorandum te Mr. Adams ,
Re: Legal Advice for Present or Former Bureau Employees

In regard to the question of security clearance for such outside
counsel and the possibility that an employee might seek to employ an
attorney whose backeround would suggest that he would not be approved
for security clearance, I told Miss Wagner that the provision of private
counsel & an employee would be done in the discretion of the Department
and that a reasonable limitation could well be imposed by the Department
as to those alforneys in private practice who would be eligible for appoint- .
ment to represent individual employees. Such limitation would permit
the Department and the employee to agree upon an attorney who would be
qualified for security clearance. ;

Miss Wagner inquired as to when the Department's responsibility
for furnishing legal counsel to an employee should terminate. I told her
that an. appropriate time would be when the Department advised the
employee that a decision had been made to prosecute the employee. Up
to that point the inquiries would have been directed toward the determination
of the circumstances and that the employer-employee relationship would
justify protecting the legal rights of the employee, but at the point at
which the Government determines and so advises the employee that the
employee would be prosecuted, the Government and the employee would
become adversaries.

We discussed the provision in Federal law for the appointment of
counsel for Federal defendants in cases where the defendant is indigent.
I suggested that they consider the possibility that even in those cases
where an employee is to be prosecuted, the Department consider the
possibility of employing existing law to provide counsel to employees
who may become defendants in criminal cases.

As to the scope of the representation of the employee, I told
Miss Wagner that the initial need is for legal advice in situations where
an employee is called for au interview or testimony by Members,
committees, subcommittees, or other units of the Congress. However, I
explained that due to the publicity of the Congressional inquiries, others may
well be interested in pursuing independent inquiries concerning the same
matters or other matters and that employees may well request legal
advice when they are called for interview or testimony by the Criminal

Memorandum to Mr. Adams
Re: Legai Advice for Present or Former Bureau Employees

Division of the Department, the Civil Rights Division of the Department,

or other Federal Government entities including Federal Grand Juries.
Further, state and local prosecutors and grand juries may seek to inquire
concerning matters within their jurisdiction arising out of the employee's
Federal activities and the employee would require the assistance of counsel.
Therefore, Iasked Miss Wagner to include in the guidelines a provision
that legal counsel would be available through the Department for employees
in all circumstances where the employee is being questioned concerning -
matters arising out of his employment in the FBI.

IT told Miss Wagner that the concluding paragraph in the Attorney
General’s memorandum for the Director indicated the possibility that a
determination would be made in some cases that the employee's activities
were beyond the scope of his duties and in such cases légal counsel would
not be provided. I told her that such a determination would be critical
and the policy followed in making such decisions would color the entire
program of providing legal assistance to employees. Therefore, I
requested Miss Wagner to address the question of scope of duties in the
guidelines by expressing a presumption that the employee's activities
were within the scope cf his duties and that such presumption would be
overcome only by a showing of facts clearly indicating to the contrary,
and that such determination would be made at least by the Deputy Attorney
General himself.

Etold Miss Wagner that this matter was most urgent and that the
Special Agents of the FBI throughout the field are anxiously awaiting the
announcement of the Attorney General's policy in regard to availability
of legal advice to employees concerning matters arising out of their
employment. She advised me that wo. k would begin immediately and that
she would be in touch with me concerning its progress, and to discuss
the guidelines as they are developed.

U. S. SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON
INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (SSC);
INTERVIEW OF FORMER ASSISTANT DIRECTOR JOSEPH K. PONDER
BY SSC STAFF MEMBER

_ On August 28, 1975, I received a call from Mike
Epstein of the Staff of the Senate Select Committee. He
said he planned to be in Southern California on Labor Day
weekend and asked whether I would be available for
interview on Sunday, August 31, 1975. I told him I would.
Epstein subsequently called me on August 30 and agreed
to meet me at my home at San Clemente on Sunday afternoon,
August 31, 1975.

The interview with Epstein took place between
3:40 pm and 4:05 pm. This included the time spent in
amenities and general conversation.

Regarding my Bureau background Epstein asked
during what period of time I was Special Agent in Charge
in Atlanta. I told him from April or May 1964 to
December 1966. He asked where I had been assigned before
that (Buffalo) and where I went after leaving Atlanta
(New York). He asked no other questions about my Bureau
career. He asked if I were aware of telephone taps
maintained by the Atlanta Office on Martin Luther King.

I replied that I was aware. of certain taps placed and
removed during my tenure in Atlanta. He asked if there
were such coverage before I arrived in Atlanta and I told
him I was not aware of any. In response to these and
other subsequent questions I pointed out to Epstein that
I had not been personally involved in the King matter,
that I had various other responsibilities in Atlanta and
that after ten years I cannot now clearly recall information
which might answer his questions. -I told him that every-
thing that was done was properly recorded, that the

records were accurate, and wherever my recollection differs
from the record, he should rely on the record to determine
what happened.

This document contains neither recommendations nor conciusions
of the FBI. It is the property of the FBI and is loaned to

gouty your agency; it and its contents are not to be distributed

U. S. SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON

INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (SSC);

INTERVIEW OF FORMER ASSISTANT DIRECTOR JOSEPH K. PONDER
BY SSC STAPF MEMBER es

He asked whether the request for the King
coverage originated at the Bureau or in Atlanta. told
him I did not recall, but that in any case it was
approved by the Bureau. He asked where it was monitored
and I told him the monitoring was done in an apartment
rented for that purpose. He asked if I knew the name in
which the apartment was rented and I said I did not. He
asked why the taps were discontinued and I told him I
do not now recall whether I was told why they were
discontinued, but if I were I cannot now recall the
reason. He asked whether we had a bug oh King as opposed
to a tap and I told him, "no." He asked whether it were
possible there were taps and ‘bugs placed and maintained
without my knowledge. I told him that was not possible
because of the size of the office and the relationship
I had with the supervisors and Agents that nothing was
done without my knowledge or without Bureau approval.

Epstein asked whether we had conducted any
Counterintelligence Program against King or the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference and I told him I recalled
none. He asked whether we had made efforts to prevent
King from receiving the Nobel Prize or efforts to interfere
with or make more difficult the raising of funds for a
banquet to honor King for his receipt of the Nobel Prize.

I told him I knew of no such efforts.

He asked whether Sullivan (Assistant Director

William C. Sullivan) had visited Atlanta. I told him
Sullivan had been to Atlanta in connection with a regional
conference dealing with the Bureau's investigation of the

Klan. He wanted to know if Baumgartner had been with Sullivan

and I told him I thought so. He asked who else had

accompanied Sullivan and I told him Arbor Gray had

accompanied Sullivan and perhaps someone else whose name

I cannot now recall. He asked whether Sullivan had met

with Ralph Magill (then publisher of the Atlanta

Constitution). I told him Sullivan may have met with Magill,

that I may have accompanied Sullivan to Magill's office,

but I cannot specifically recall such a meeting and if it

were held I cannot recall anything discussed. He asked
the purpose of such a meeting and I told him if such a
meeting took place it was in the nature of a social

call with Sullivan paying his respects to Magill and a
public: relations~type of meeting. He asked whether there
was any discussion between Sullivan and Magill regarding
any anti-King activities and I told him, "no." He asked
whether Sullivan had made any other visits to Atlanta

and I told him I knew of none.

He asked whether I was aware of any inquiry
made by the Bureau into the handling of the King
investigation either through the Inspection Staff or
otherwise. I told him I was not aware of any. He asked
whether Nichols, the Agent assigned to the King
investigation had been in Atlanta while I was there. I
told him I had hazy recall of Nichols, but did not
recall him. He asked the same thing about Al Sentinella.
I told him Sentinella was there when I arrived and was
still there when I left Atlanta. He asked who had
supervised the Security Squad. I told him Supervisor
Charles Harding.

private counsel, Cassidy was raiso told that there were certain
privileged areas concerning which he would not be required to

divulge the identities of FBI sources: information relating te
sensitive methods and techniques; information which might adversely
afiect ongoing FRE investigations; and information which had
originated with other agencies, including foreign intelligence
agencies, Cassidy was informed that if a question arose during
the interview in one of these areas, he had the privilege, before

RE: INTERVIEW OF FBI SPECIAL AGENT (SA)
FRED J. CASSIDY BY SSC STAPF MEMBER

On August 20, 1975, Mr, Loch Johnson of the Senate
Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respect
to Intelligence Activities (SSC) staff interviewed me in ny
office, Room 4821, SEH Building, concerning my knowledge of,
and participation in, the so-called "Husten Plan."

Mw. Johnson did not place me under oath or advise me
o£ my rights.

Ife asked about my background which I provided, including
the fact that I have been a Speeial Agent of the FBI since
August 7, 1950,

Wath regard to the extent of my participation in the
Huston Plan, I advised li. Johnson that I wag sclected by former
Assistant Director Willian C, Sullivan to act as the liaison
officer for the plan, probably because of my expericncé in the
FBI Domestic Liaison Section and my oxtensive Liaison contacts
through my participation in the various United States Intelligence
Board (USIB) Committees. My duties with regard to the Huston Plan
were to insure that appropriate notification of meetings was made
and that the various papers prepared ag the result of meetings
held were delivered to the proper individuals in the other agencies
participating in the plan. Some of the papers were delivered
personally by me, others were sent by courier.

I advised Hr. Johnson that I was generally aware of
the contents of the papers prepared through my attendance at the
meetings of the working group and discussions with participating
personnel; however, I personally made no input nor did I participate
in the preparation of the worlspapers or the finished product.

RE: INTERVIEW OF FBI SPECIAL AGENT (SA)
FRED J, CASSIDY BY SSC STAY MEMBER

Me. Johnson asked if I had net Tom Charles Husten
prior to the initial meeting of the Huston Plan working group,
I advised hin that I had never heard of Huston prior ta the
mentioning of his name by V. C. Sullivan at the initial necting
of FBI personnel involved in the Huston Plan, which meeting
oceurred early in June, 1970, and had never seen him until the
first meeting of the working group held at CIA Headquarters,
Langley, Virginia, shortly thereafter.

Mr, Johnson asked about the initial meeting of FBI
personnel concerning the Huston Pian. I told him it was held
in Me. Sullivan's conference room in the Fedcral Triangle
Building and that as best as I could recall it was attended by
Me, Sullivan and the branch Inspectors of the Intelligence
Division as well as the Section Chiefs, Sullivan told us of

' the plan and as EF recail indicated this was 2 golden opportunity

to vegain the caverage afforded by techniques, which had been
denied us for the most part, since 1967. { told him that in my
view Sullivan was going to mke this one Last effort te regain
the coverage and if this effort Zfailed wag prepared to retire.

i. Johnson asked if former Inspector 7, FJ, Smith was
at this meeting. I told him I could not recall.

The initial meeting of the Ad Hoc group at CIA was
discussed and J advised him that, as I recalled, at that meeting
it was decided that cach participating agency vould subnit a
paper listing the restraints on theiy particular agency which
were hampering them in doing their job, IE pointed out that the
FBI subnitted an extengive list of restraints and that this paper
was circulated to the other participating agencies without being
Cleared through Mr. Woover.

le, Johngon asked if I was aware of who was the
instigator of the Huston Plan, 2 told him I had no direct
knowledge but would suspect it was W. ©, Sullivan, Huston, or
possibly formor Assistant Attorney General Robort Mardian3
however, the answer to his question would have to be obtained
from those individuals or such records as he may be able to
ocate,

He asked my impression of Tom Charles Huston. fT toid
hin £ felt Duston was a very bright young man who sew this plan
ag an opportunity to become the Henry Kissinger of domestic
security and thereby enhance himself and his political career.

Me. Johnson stated that his investigation had developed |
that Sullivan at the outset of the plan appeared to want to push
through the plan; however, he seemed to take a direct turnabout
and began to advise Mr, Hoover against adopting some of the
proposals being made by the various participating agencies. He
said it wag hig impression that this turnabout oceurred at the
time Sullivan was promoted to Number Three Man in the Bureau,

He asked if I could shed any light on this turn of events.

I told Mr, Jobneon that I could not speak for Sullivan
and could only give him my impression of what occurred, that being
at the outset of the plan Sullivan truly felt this was a gelden .
opportunity to get the coverage back, and decided to lay his job
on the line to accomplish this, When he was moved up to the
Number Three job, I felt he saw the opportunity to someday become
the Divector of the FBI. Furthor, as the drafts of the plan were
being written, Sullivan realized that sooner or later Mr. Hoover
would see them and at that time realize that Sullivan had dissem
inated to the intelligence community all of the restraints
Me. Hoover had imposed on the FBI.

SENATE SELECT COMMETTER ON INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (SSC)

In teapect to Items 14 end 15, we are delivering

@ doctment dated December 17,°1964.. As indicated on page 2

of this document, it was epproved for Mr, Sullivan by

someone whose initials appear to the right of "WCS/."

Although we cannot say with absolute certainty vho that person.
might have been, the initials appear to be those of former

FHI Special Agent (SA) Daniel J. Brennan, Former SA E. R.
Cleyton approved the communicetion for Mr. Tolson. Notations .
on page 2 indicate that Mr. Belmont approved it and also
advised PBI Director Hoover of ita contents on December 18,
presumably 1964, No written approval by Mr. Hoover ig noted.

to respect to Item 21, we ore delivering e document
dated August 24, 1967, We have previously furnished the

- 9S, by memorendum dated June 24, 1975, and subtitled "Request

Pertaining to. Blectranic Surveilience,” an excised ‘copy of

the August 24, 1967, document. The copy which is now being
delivered conteina certein administretive date which had been
excised on previous delivery. However, those excisions
remaining relete to the substance of the memorendum and were .
made to protest the identity of a representative of a friendly
foreign intelligence service, the name of that service and

the neme of the country involved. -

. - With respect to the excisions in materials being
delivered herewith, where no notation appears as to reason
for excision, the excision was mede for the reason that the
information actually summarizes or quotes from conversations
monitored during electronic survelliances of King. In some
eases, it can be ascertained precisely what information in
FBI £4les came from electronic surveillances of Dr. King;
however, there exist areas where documentation of the

The enclosed article, captioned as above, is the i
one we have been preparing in line with approval of our :
recommendation to disseminate it on a select basis at a a
very high level to show current communist activities in {
relation to the Negro movement. It incorporates up-to-date - ‘
material just received from our New York Office relating H
to the recent meeting of the Communist Party's National ve |
Executive Committee. Discussion of racial matters was a
primary topic at the week-long meeting. 4 ‘

" The enclosed article is a factual, documented
| analysis of the over-all current situation. We believe
i¢that it would be of interest not only to the Attorney General
lbut also to Mr. O'Donnell, at the White House; Mr, McCone, at
the Central Intelligence Agency; Mr. Rusk, at the Department .
fof State; as well as to Mr.;, McNamara and the three Armed Forces
,intelligence agencies of the Defense Department. Accordingly,
;if the article as prepared is approved, we propose to dis-
?seminate it to the afore-mentioned individuals and agencies.

Hemoxandum to W, C. Sullivan

From F. J. Baumgardner

RE: COMMUNIST INFILTRATION OF
’ SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE

100-438794 “.

U. S. Government are involved, The Atlanta Office has
recommended that Senator Richard Russell (D, Georgia) be
advised concerning this matter. This appears inadvisable
Since such action could conceivably cause repercussions which
would only aggravate the racial situation that exists in the
South.

It is felt that Dr. Leland J, Havorth, Director,
NSF, should be. furnished information regarding communist
influences exerted on the SCIC and King. in this regard
we recently disseminated to the White House and the us
heads of the intelligence community copies of a "Top Secret"
summary entitled “Communism and the Negro Movement--4
Current Analysis" which contains information regarding the
SCIC and King, This summary deals with King’s cormunist
connectiopns and his personal jyymorai ectivities, Wath the
receipt of this summary by Dr. Haworth, the SCLC would,
undoubtedly pe removed Efrem the NSF program to obtain quaALitica
Negro students for southern schools, ;

The information concerning the SCIC participation -
in the NSF prograin is being separately disseminated to the
Department and interested intelilivence agencies, °- ‘ .

RECOMMENDATION $

. There is attached for approval a Letter to

Dr, Ieland J. Haworth, Director, NSF, transmitting a copy
of the recently prepared summary entitled "Communism and
the Negro Movement--A Current Analysis."

officials in Government of the wholly disreputable character
of King. ;

As you know, King's "Washington Spring Project" was
originally scheduled for early April, 1968, However, our
Washington Field Office has developed information that King's
group is experiencing difficulty in recruiting individuals
to participatein the demonstration and the date for the project
has now tentatively been set for April 27, 1968,

Because of the importance of doing a thorough. job on /}
this, we will conduct an exhaustive file review to bring togethel’
the most complete and up-to-date information and to present it
in a hard-hitting manner, To make the brief timely, we will
have it completed and ready for dissemination by March 14, 1968,

The Attorney General

NOTE:

Issue raised by the SSC here is that they have
detected in their investigation of the Internal Revenue
Service and through review of Cointelpro documents furnished
to them by the FBI instances relating to FBI use of tax
return information, Included in this material were a
number of cases in which the FBI locally requested and,
according to the documents, recéived tax returns or tax
return information from Internal Revenue Service employees,
Garlier the SSC had sought to interview individuals who
assisted us in several of our Cointelpro operations, We
successfully resisted these attempts to obtain the identities
of such individuals and our assent to such interview by the
SSC, We were sustained in our position by the Attorney
General, Our position was based on the fact that we considered
that we had an obligation, expressed or implied, of confi-
dentiality toward such sources who had acted on our behalf,

The SSC now raises a question as to whether our
position concerning contacts with and identities of employees
of the Internal Revenue Service is the same aS with the
*confidential sources," For the reasons cited in our letter
we do not believe it would be possible to sustain such an
argunent,

sunraon Senate Select Committee Request eee be \

The attached letter is self-explanatory and, put in distilled
form, asks the following question: .

Are employees of the IRS who supplied tax returns or tax
retuim information to agents of the FBI in response to formal or
informal requests made by Bureau agents to be characterized as -
"confidential sources" and, as such, to be spared being interviewed
by the Select Conmittee?

Because the Attorney General and the Bureau have previously
addressed the Bureau's position on the nondisclosure of its sources
for interview purposes by the SSC staff, and because the issue raised
in the attached letter may represent a clear exception to the earlier
resolution of the Bureau's COINTELPRO-sources problem, I am forwarding
this to you for your prompt attention and views for early transmittal
to the Attorney General. I shall appreciate the receipt of your
views on or before COB Thursday, September 11, 1975.

Dear Mike: pone Ae

In connection with our investigation of thé
Internal Revenue Service, we have received a number of FBI
COINTELPRO documents relating to FBI use of tax return
information. Included in this material are a number of !
cases in which the FBI locally requested and, according
to the documents, received tax returns or tax return in-
formation from IRS employees, such as the local Chief of
Audit or Chief of Intelligence.

by ane Neg eet HceeM =

2 RAN

We wish to determine whether these requests
were tréated by the IRS as official requests and pre-
scribed procedures thus followed for disclosure of the
information, or whether the requests were treated as
informal requests and prescribed procedures ignored. We
cannot make this determination solely on the basis of the
FBI documents we have reviewed. In many cases, the only
way to determine how the requests were treated will be to
interview the IRS employees who handled the requests.

Since these requests were directed to a federal
agency, we are proceeding on the basis of a presumption
that the responses were properly cleared. If so, we do
not believe there is any basis for characterizing .the IRS
employees in question as “confidential sources". They
would then be in essentially the same position as the Com-.
missioner of Internal Revenue is where the request is
directed through normal channels to the National Office

and responded to officially. In the event it should turn
out that the responses were not officially approved, they
were nonetheless made by federal employees who should
have been acting within the scope of their official duties
and who, if they were not so acting, should certainly be
subject to interrogation regarding the circumstances of
their acting outside their authority.

In what is perhaps an excess of ‘caution. in view —
of the pending discussions regarding the questioning of
"confidential sources", we are submitting this situation
for your review lest you should disagree with our analysis
that these individuals cannot properly be so characterized.
Because IRS hearings are scheduled for the last week in
September, our need to question the people who released
the returns is very urgent, and we would appreciate your
‘advising us of your view on the subject at the earliest.
possible moment -- hopefully no later than Monday, Septem-
ber 8th. .

On 9/9/75, John E1Lif£, Domestic Task Force Head of
the Senate Select Committee, telephonically contacted SA Paul V.
Daly and requested that SA Douglas MacDougall be released for
purposes of submitting to a St interview concerning mail
openings.

ELLiff stated that he was currently being interviewed
by Senate Select Committee Staff Members on mail covers; however,
he indicated there is an apparent misunderstanding as the Senate: fj
Select Committee also requested that he be made available for ;
Staff interview on mail openings at the same time. EI11iff£ was //
advised that this was not true and that James Dick of the Senate.
Select Committee had requested only a release insofar as mail
covers was concerned for purposes of an interview with MacDougall
and that this particular topic had been confirmed with Dick on a
separate occasion to insure that their intent insofar as MacDougall
was. concerned was to interview him on mail covers. EI1Liff£ then
requested that MacDougall be released for mail openings and in-
quired as to how long this particular procedure might take. He
was informed that prior to MacDougali's being made available for
such an interview the Bureau would brief MacDougall concerning
his Fifth Amendment rights and would want MacDougall to have
sufficient time to consider whether he might want to retain
private counsel or whatever other steps he feels necessary to
protect his rights.

ELLiff£ subsequently recontacted SA Paul V. Daly
telephonically and stated he had checked with James Dick,
Senate Select Committee Staff Member, and determined that
Dick had only asked that MacDougall be made, available for
interview concerning mail covers. ELLiff stated thet i 3

MacDougall had traveled from New York for purposes of this

interest to also interview MacDougall concerning mail

Epstein of the Staff of the Senate Select Committee. He
said he planned to be in Southern California on Labor Day
weekend and asked whether I would be available for

| interview on Sunday, August 31, 1975. I told him I would.
Epstein subsequently called me on August 30 and agreed

to meét me at my home at San Clemente on Sunday afternoon,
August 31, 1975.

The interview with Epstein took place between
3:40 pm and 4:05 pm. This included the time spent in
amenities and general conversation.

Regarding my Bureau background Epstein asked
during what period of time I was Special Agent in Charge
in Atlanta. I told him from April or May 1964 to
December 1966. He asked where I had been assigned before
that (Buffalo) and where I went after leaving Atlanta
(New York). He asked no other questions about my Bureau
career. He asked if I were aware of telephone taps
Maintained by the Atlanta Office on Martin Luther King.

I replied that I was aware of certain taps placed and
removed during my tenure in Atlanta. He asked if there
were such coverage before I arrived in Atlanta and I told
him I was not aware of any. In response to these and
other subsequent questions I pointed out to Epstein that

T had not been personally involved in the King matter,

that I had various other responsibilities in Atlanta and
that after ten years I cannot now clearly recall information
which might answer his questions. I told him that every-
thing that was done was properly recorded, that the

records were accurate, and wherever my recollection differs
from the record, he should rely on the record to determine
what happened.

This document contains neither recommendations nor conclusions
of the FBI. It is the property of the FBI and is loaned to
your agency; it and its contents are not to be distributed
outside your agency.

U. S. SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON
INTELLIGENCE ACTIVITIES (SSC);
INTERVIEW OF FORMER ASSISTANT DIRECTOR JOSEPH K. PONDER
BY SSC STAFF MEMBER

He asked whether the request for the King
coverage originated at the Bureau or in Atlanta. I told
him I did not recall, but that in any case it was
| approved by the Bureau. He asked where it was monitored

and I told him the monitoring was done in an apartment
rented for that purpose. He asked if I knew the name in
which the apartment was rented and I said I did not. He
asked why the taps were discontinued and I told him I
do not now recall whether I was told why they were
discontinued, but if I were I cannot now recall the
| reason. He asked whether we had a bug on King as opposed
| to a tap and I told him, "no." He asked whether it were
possible there were taps and bugs placed and maintained
without my knowledge. I told him that was not possible
because of the size of the office and the relationship
I had with the supervisors and Agents that nothing was
done without my knowledge or without Bureau approval.

Epstein asked whether we had conducted any
Counterintelligence Program against King or the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference and I told him I recalled
none. He asked whether we had made efforts to prevent
King from receiving the Nobel Prize or efforts to interfere
with or make more difficult the raising of funds for a
banquet to honor King for his receipt of the Nobel Prize.

I told him I knew of no such efforts.

He asked whether Sullivan (Assistant Director
William C. Sullivan) had visited Atlanta. I told him
Sullivan had been to Atlanta in connection with a regional
conference dealing with the Bureau's investigation of the
Klan. Hé wanted to know if Baumgartner had been with Sullivan
and I told him I thought so. He asked who else had
accompanied Sullivan and I told him Arbor Gray had
accompanied Sullivan and perhaps someone else whose name
I cannot now recall. He asked whether Sullivan had met
with Ralph Magill (then publisher of the Atlanta
Constitution). I told him Sullivan may have met with Magill,
that I may have accompanied Sullivan to Magill's office,
but I cannot specifically recall such a meeting and if it

I U. S. SENATE SELECT COMMITTEE ON

were held I cannot recall anything discussed. He asked
the purpose of such a meeting and I told him if such a
meeting took place it was in the nature of a social

call with Sullivan paying his respects to Magill anda
public: relations-type of meeting. He asked whether there
was any discussion between Sullivan and Magill regarding
any anti-King activities and I told him, "no." He asked
whether Sullivan had made any other visits to Atlanta
and I told him I knew of none.

He asked whether I was aware of any inquiry
made by the Bureau into the handling of the King
investigation either through the Inspection Staff or
otherwise. I told him I was not aware of any. He asked
whether Nichols, the Agent assigned to the King
investigation had been in Atlanta while I was there. I
told him I had hazy recall of Nichols, but did not
recall him. He asked the same thing about Al Sentinella.
I told him Senhtinella was there when I arrived and was
still there when I left Atlanta. He asked who had
supervised the Security Squad. I told him Supervisor
Charles Harding.

Dear Mr, Kelley:

v ~
A In accordance with instructions received from f
) the Bureau, I am enclosing a bill in the amount of $750.00 wo

from the law firm of Kantor, Shaw & Davidoff. Mr. Herbert . ~

Kantor is an attorney who agted as my ccunsel during an ee
appearance by me before thd.Senate Select Committee on ™~
Intelligence Operations in WAshingtety De Cr "onemueust 12, ae
1975. a ix

After notification by the Committee and the Bureau f AY
that my appearance had been requested, I was advised by the —*

Legal Department of the Bureau that I had the right to have
en attorney accompany me during my appearance, IF was @lso

advised by the Bureau that nelther they nor the Department

of Justice could provide me with coursel due to a possible

conflict of interest on their part.

te

tyt

s
at

The matters to be discussed before the Committee
involved cnly my prior official duties in the counter-
intelligence field. At this point, I strongly believed
that to best protect both my constitutional privileges and
the Bureau’s overriding interest, the most prudent course
of action would indicate the retention of an attorney. I
would like to advise you that much thought was paid to the
Selection of an attorney Since confidential Bureau activities
would have to be discussed with him and it was felt that the
person selected would, in effect, be representing the Bureau
in addition to m pelt. .

September 3, 1975
Atlanta, Georgia

On September 2, 1975, Mr. Paul G. Wallach, Counsel
to the Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with
Respect to Intelligence Activities of the United States Senate
arrived at my office located at 6165 Barfield Road, Atlanta,
Georgia 30302, at approximately 10:10 a.m. His interview with
me commenced at approximately 10:15 a.m. and lasted until
approximately 10:50 a.m. This interview was not conducted
under oath. Mr. Wallach did not advise me of my rights. I
drove Mr. Wallach to Perimeter Mall where he caught the 11:00 a.m.
bus to the Airport.

; During the interview Mr. Wallach asked how long
I had served in the Federal Bureau of Investigation and what
areas I worked in during my FBI career. He was told that my
FBI career started on March 19, 1951, and ended with my
retirement on January 27, 1973. During this time I was
assigned to criminal work for two years, worked in the Soviet
Intelligence field for approximately 17 years, and again handled
criminal work for the last three years of my Bureau career.

Wallach wanted to know if I worked with James Kehoe.
I told him that for the most part Kehoe and I were on different
squads, although we both worked in the Soviet Intelligence
field. We did work on the same squad during the first years
of our assignment to this type of work.

Wahlach wanted to know if I was aware of the operation
involving the mail at Kennedy Airport and at other post offices
in the New York area. I told him that officially I was not aware
of these operations but that in fact I knew of the operations.
Wallach wanted to know if I had ever been assigned to work in
a post office and my answer was "no".

Wallach then wanted to know if I was acquainted
with Sam Jaffee. After my affirmative answer he wanted to
know how I met him, why I interviewed him, whether I had to
have permission to interview him, what kind of information
he furnished, whether I had ever asked him to do anything,
and whether Jaffee was an informant. He also wanted to know
when I first met Jaffee, how frequently I saw him, over what
period of time I was seeing him, and when I last saw him.

I told Wallach that I could not remember dates
and other details of my relationship with Jaffee,but that
information responsive to his questions could be found
recorded in FBI files as I had prepared detailed memos
reflecting all of my contacts with Jaffee. I told Wallach
that if he were entitled to the information he was seeking,
I'd suggest that he get hold of the file on Jaffee. Wallach
said he understood my position, but that before going through
the process of getting a file "they" liked to talk to a few
individuals to see if information the Committee had was
worth pursuing.

Wallach acknowledged that it would not be possible
for me to furnish specific information, such as dates, after
the passage of such a long period of time. Thereafter, in
response to inquiry, he was told that Jaffee was in contact
with many diplomatic officials, including Soviets, in his

. capacity as a CBS newsman. I could not specifically remember
how this information came to the Bureau's attention. I did
have some background information on Jaffee and it was necessary
for me to get permission before I could interview him. He
was told that I did not know specifically who authorized the
interview.

Wallach wanted to know what approach was used
during the initial interview with Jaffee. He was told that
I could not specifically recall his information, but &hat
John Willis and I conducted the interview. Both of us were
keenly aware of the FBI's policy of not interfering with the
Freedom 6f the Press and we wanted to make sure that Jaffee
understood this. We also wanted to make sure that Jaffee
understood that we did not want to place him in a difficult
or embarrassing position by talking to him and that if he
found our presence to be a problem we would leave immediately.
He was told that Jaffee proved to be most cooperative and that
thereafter we were in contact with Jaffee frequently. Wallach
wanted to know how often and he was told that sometimes we
were in contact with him two or three times a week, once
every two weeks, or perhaps once a month. He was told that
all contacts were recorded in writing in the file, along with
the results of the contact.

Concerning information which Jaffee furnished,
Wallach was told that Jaffee furnished information concerning
current events of major and minor importance on the inter-
national scene, which came to his attention as a result of

; NW 88326 Docid:32989653 Page 167

ia ° @ @
«
o .

his contacts with numerous individuals in diplomatic
circles. He was again told that all of this information
was reduced to writing and I understood that it was
disseminated to other government agencies, including

the U. S. Mission to the UN and the State Department.
Wallach wanted to know how I knew this to be the case.

I explained that FBI policy required dissemination of
information to other government agencies and I felt certain
that this policy was followed in the case of memoranda
prepared as a result of my contacts with Jaffee.

Wallach asked if Jaffee was an informant and
I told him that Jaffee might more properly be called a
Source of Information.

Wallach then wanted to know if I requested Jaffee
to do anything in the course of contacts with him. Wallach
was told that Jaffee may have been asked to follow up on
information which he furnished or make contact with a specific
individual but that this did not occur very often, if at all,
since Jaffee was a free spirit, who usually did as he pleased.
I then explained that during my contacts with Jaffee I received
frequent calls from other FBI Agents who said that Jaffee was
using my name in order to cross police lines or get information
while covering a story of major importance,such as airplane
hijacking. This in spite of repeated requests on my part
that he cease doing this.

Wallach asked if I knew whether Jaffee had ever
been followed by FBI Agents. I pointed out that Jaffee had
been followed by FBI Agents and, in fact, talked to Agents
who were following him, as well as Agents going about their
business. He often mentioned my name to these Agents.

Wallach asked if I was aware that Jaffee did a
television program on the FBI. I said that I was aware of
this and in fact, at his request, arranged to have him visit
Camp Smith with a camera crew to cover our firearms training
program.

Wallach was told that I could not remember when
I last saw Jaffee, but that I last talked to him when he
returned from Hong Kong. At this time Jaffee called my home
from Washington, D. C. and told my daughter that he had to
talk to me immediately about an urgent problem. When I

returned Jaffee's call I listened to him for about five
to ten minutes repeatedly telling me how the FBI or CIA
or some individual had furnished information to ABC-TV
which cost him his fob. Jaffee would not listen to me
as I tried to explain that he had to be mistaken. I then
got sick of listening to him and hung up on him.

Wallach was told that this was typical of Jaffee
who often thought that there was something personal involved
when he failed to get an assignment or a news item, which he
covered,was not shown on the evening news program, Wallach
was told that Jaffee was an intelligent and personable guy
with a burning ambition, who wanted to become a Walter
Cronkite or a Marvin Kalb overnight. Wallach was told that
I did not believe that Jaffee completed college and he was
probably not otherwise qualified for some of these positions,
which he would like to have had immediately. I then told
Wallach that in my opinion Jaffee had the same problem at
ABC that he had at CBS and at both places he was probably:
overly aggressive and not amenable to direction.

Wallach was also told that Willis and I found
Jaffee to be an interesting guy who we enjoyed talking to
but that he positively would not accept advice or direction.

Wallach wanted to know if I was acquainted with
Special Agents Reeves, Winton or Graves and I gave a negative
reply. It should be noted that Wallach had a first name for.
each of these individuals but I do not recall these names.
He then wanted to know if I knew Bgrt Turner. I did know
Bert Turner as a Supervisor in WFO d possibly at the Bureau.

Wallach wanted to know if I would be surprised
to learn that Jaffee had been interviewed by Bureau Agents
for four days upon his return from Hong Kong. I said that
I would be surprised.

He also wanted to know if I would be surprised
to learn that the FBI or CIA had furnished information to
ABC-TV which cost Jaffee his job. I said that I would be
most surprised and that I did not believe there was any
possibility that this could happen. I told Wallach that
in my opinion Jaffee was perfectly capable of losing his
job on his own.

Wallach then asked if I had ever talked to any
other newspaper people. I told him that I once talked to
Irving R. Levine many years ago. He wantéd to know if I
knew of any other Agents of the FBI who were talking to
people in the news media. I said that I did not.

Wallach then made reference to newspaper articles
of recent date concerning the FBI's relationship with
newspaper people friendly to the FBI, In response to inquiry
I told him that I knew absolutely nothing about this.

At the outset of the interview Wallach asked if
I told the FBI about his visit and I said that I had called
the Atlanta FBI Office and that as soon as he left I would
again call the Atlanta FBI Office and give an Agent a rundown
on the interview. He said that the FBI had notified the
Select Committee about my call.

He wanted to know if I had called the FBI in
Washington and I gave a negative reply. He also wanted to
know if I had talked to John Willis. I had not.

Before leaving Wallach commented that he did not
know who cost Jaffee his job, but that he, Wallach, was certain
someone caused Jaffee to lose his job.

I believe I have covered the interview in its
entirety, however, I did not make any notes and the possi-
bility of some minor omission does exist.

Assistant Attorney General
Criminal Division
Re: Mail Intercept Programs

NOTE:

The incoming letter delivered on 8/1/75 is undated
and it requested that the FBI make available for review by
the Criminal Division attorneys, all memoranda, records,
letters or other correspondence from 1951 to date which the
FBI had received or generated with respect to its contacts
or involvement with the White House, tne Attorney General,
Post Office Department or Postal Service and GIA in comnection
with the inception, implementation or declination of partici-~
pation by the FBI in mail interception programs. This relates
solely to the information in Bureau files concerning Bureau
Informant 200 also known as Project Hunter which was the CIA
code name for its interception program. In accordance with
discussions held with members of the Staff of the Senate
Special Committee on 8/15/last, it was requested that this
program be cleared with the Criminal Division first. The
tumter policy file has been reviewed and documents considered
to be pertinent have been Xeroxed and will be held for review
by Departmental attorneys.

reason for the unsuccessful attempts to retrieve this

‘attributed to the fact that FBI cleur indices did not come

operational for a period of time following October 5, 1066.

" MICROPHONE SURVEILLANCE an 185-26
ORMATION CONTAINED ©
PRL TORE?

| : . metic pre ben SONPEDENEE AE :

The recent decision of the Supreme Court entitled Irvine vy
California, 347 U.S. 128, denouncing the use of microphone surveil-
lances by city police in a gambling case makes appropriate a reappraisal
of the use which may be made in the future by the Federal Bureau of
~~~ Investigation of microphone surveillance in connection with matters
relating to the internal security of the country.

It is clear that in some instances the use of microphone ws
surveillance is the only possible way of uncovering the activities .
. of espionage agents, possible saboteurs, and subversive persons. In’ >.
such instances I am of the opinion that the national interest requires.
that microphone surveillance be utilized by the Federal Bureau of 5
Investigation. This use need not be limited to the development of ot
evidence for prosecution. The FBI has an intelligence function in —
connection with internal security matters equally as important as
the duty of developing evidence for presentation to the courts and ~
‘the national security requires that the FBI be able to use microphone
surveillance for the proper discharge of both of such functions. a
The Department of Justice approves the use of microphone surveillance — -
by the FBI under these circumstances and for these purposes. oi

8 \ I do not consider that the decision of the Supreme Court

' dn Irvine-v. California, supra, requires a different course. That

‘ease is readily distinguishable on its facts. The language of the _

Court, showever, indicates certain uses of microphones which it would ——

-7 be well to avoid, if possible, even in internal security investiga~

/, tions. It is quite clear that in the Irvine case the Justices of the

“v—--—Supreme Court were outraged by what they regarded as the indecency of
installing a microphone in a bedroom. They denounced the utilization
of such methods of investigation in a gambling case as shocking. ‘The
Court's action is a clear indication of the need for discretion and
‘intelligent restraint in the use of microphones by the FBI in ali
eases, including internal security matters. Obviously, the installa- —
tion of @ microphone in a bedroom or in some comparably intimate
location should be avolded wherever possible. It may appear, however,
that important intelligence or evidence relating to matters connected
with the national security can only be obtained by the installation of
a microphone in such a location, It 1s my opinion that wnder such
circumstances the installation is proper and is not prohibited by the
Supreme Court's decision in the Irvin case. ; . oT

Previous interpretations which have been furnished to you
as to what may constitute trespass in the installation of microphones,
suggest that the views expressed have been tentative in nature and
have attempted to predict the course which courts would follow
rather than reflect the present state of the law. It is reali-:d
that not infrequently the question of trespass arises in connection

,--with the installation of a microphone. The question of whether a ;
trespass is actually involved and the second question of the effeot
of such a trespass upon the admissibility in court of the evidence thus
obtained, must necessarily be resolved according to the circumstances
of each case. The Department in resolving the problems which may arise
in connection with the use of microphone surveillance will review the
ciroumstances in each case in the light of the practical necessities
of investigation and of the national interest which must be protected.s
It is my opinion that the Department should adopt that interpretation
which will permit microphone coverage by the FBI in a manner most
conducive to our national interest. I recognize that for the FBI.

. to fulfill its important intelligence function, considerations of
internal security and the national safety are paramount and, thore=
fore, may compel the unrestricted use of this technique in tne national -

erest. ‘ . . ” oy

- . MEMORANDUM FOR THE ATTORNEY ¢ 7 4

With reference to the proper controls over wiretapping and .

the Installation of microphones, you will recall that I advised you
_. that back under the administration of Attorney General Clark TI

recommended that all Government agencles refrain from wiretapping
unless there was specific approval in each instance by the Attorney
General who is the chief law officer of the Government. I repeated
the same recommendation to each successive Attorney General following -',
the administration of Attorney General Clark, . I

, ' <I have always felt that there was a very lax control’in the — .
handling of wiretapping by Government agencies. I am the only head
of a Goverment investigative agency who does not have the authority

~ to authorize a wiretap, but under the system which I personally set

. up. Therefore, requests for wiretaps are sent by me to the Attorney: |
General for his approval or disapproval. I know thet no such system .
is followed in other branches of the Government and, in fact, in many
instances subordinates quite far down the line of authority tap tele- - .
phones without the specific approval of the head of the agency and
certainly without specific approval of the cabinet officer in charge
of the department. vs . .

/ I still feel quite strongly that no Government agency should,
tap = telephone unless it 4s specifically approved in each instance by ,.
the Attorney General, This would certainly cireumseribe promiscnous. q ‘4
wiretapping on the part of Government agencies and would centralize ’ |,
in one place, the Attorney General's office, a record of any phone taps |
which have been placed by a Government agenoys “

_ As you are aware, in the ease of the FBI we do not request. .
- phone taps exeept in cases Involving kidnaping and esplonage. is
has been predicated upon my theory that when the life of an individual
or the life of the Nation its in peril « phone tap’ is justified for:
intelligence purposes as any information obtained over a phone tap
eamnot be used in the trial of a criminal case. aor

in line with your suggestion this morning, I have already .
set up the procedure similar to requesting of authority for ne
‘taps to be utilized in requesting authority for the placement of
microphones. In other words, I shall forward to you from time te
tine request for authority to install microphones where docmed ©
' Inperative for your consideration and approval or disapproval. .
Purthermore, I have instructed that, where you have approved etthor
# phone tap or the Installation of a mierophone, you be advised
when such is discontinued if in less than six months and, if not
discontinued in less than six months, ‘that a new request be subnitte
by me to you for extension of the telephone tap or ninrophone 0

HICRCPHONE SURVEILLANCE spe CONAN 155-26
i ui a sore: ef ise
_ SORPEOENEEAS—

The recent decision of the Suprene Cozrt entitied ne Ve
California, 4 347 B28. 126, denouncing the use of micrcphone surveil

ces police in a gambling tase makes _inpropriate a reeppratcal
of the tee: Bich may be nade in the f:ture by the eral Bureau o
Investigation of ml cropbone survelllance in vonngetion with cepters

relating te the internal security of the country.

It 4s clear that in gone instances the use of microphone

surveil lance is the only possible way of uncovering the activ ties

of of espiona ge agents: posarble saboteurs, and subversive persons. In
tances I an of the opinion that the national interest requires

that nierophone surveillance ba utilized by the Federal Bureau o

Investigation. This use need not be limited to the develoment ot

evidence for prosecution. The FBI has an intel ieence function in

connection with internal security matters aqualiy as important as.

the auty of develo ing evidence for presentation to the courts and

the national secur: t, y requires that the FSI be able to use microphone

surveillance for the pronar discharge of both of such functions.

The Denartnent of Justice anproves the tse of microphone surveillance

by the FSI under these clrownstances and for these purposes.

I do not consider that the decision of the Suprexe Court
in Irvine -v. : SHOE: zequires a different course. That
case is r vy distings e on its facts. The language of the

, however. indicates certain uses of microphones which it would
be well to avoid, 4f possible qven, in internal security investiga-
tions. It is quite clear ¢ that in drying case the Justices of the
Supreme Court ware ou y vont they sogarded as the indecency of
installing a microphons ey denoun cod the utiliza ion
of such methods of invest. Seton in ina ing case as shocking.
Court's action 1s a clear dleation « of the need for discretion and

inteii & restraint in the use of mic s by the FBI in all
eases, tneluding internal security matters. Obviously, the instalia-
tion of a microphone in a bedroom er in some comparably intimate
Lloeation should be avoided wherever r possible. It may eppesr , however,
that important intelligence or evidence relating to oO mat ers connected”
with the national security can only be obtained by the installation of
a microphone in such a location, It is my opinion that under auch
Suprene Court's an cision & in th is proper andi is not prohibited by the

e Cou ecision

\ NW 88326 Docld:32989653 Page 263 ; Subject to Criminal Sanctiong —

Previous interpretations which have been furnished to you
as to what constitute trespass in the installation of microphones, .
suggest that the vievs expressed have been tentative in nature and
have attenpted to @iet the course which corrts would follow

than reflect the present state of the law. It is realized
that not infrequently the question of trespass arises in connection
with the inst: tion of a microphones. The question of whether
tresnass is actually involved and the second question of the effect
of such a trespass upon the admissibility in court of the evidence thus
ebtained, must necessarliy be resolved eaoording to the cirounstances
of each cage. The Departuent in resolving the sroblems which may arise
in connection with the tse of att mee surveillance will review the
ofreunatances in each ease in the £ the sractical necessities
of investigation and of the national interest which must be protected.
It is my opinion that the Department should adopt fat interpretetion .
which will permit microphone coverage by the FBI in a manner most
conducive to our national interest. I recognize that for the FSI
to fulfill tty important intelligence fenetion, considerations of
internal security and the national. safety are paramonst and, there~
fore, | ney compel the unrestricted use of this. technique fn “ine national

With reference to the proper controls over wiretapping and
the installation of microphones, you wili recall that I advised you
that back under the a stration of Attorney General Clark I
recommended that all Government agencies refrain fron wiretapping
unless there was specific approvat in each instance by the Attorney
General who is the chief law officer of the Goverment. I repeated
the same recommendation to each successive Attorney General following
the administration of Attorney General Clark.

. ZI have always felt that there was.a very lax control in the
handling of wiretapping by Government agencies. I am the only head
of a Government investigative agency who does not have the authority
to authorize a wiretap, but under system which I personally set
uy. Therefore, requests for wiretaps are sent by me to the Attorney
General for his approval or disapproval. I know that no such system
is followed in other branches of the Government and, in fact, in many
instances subordinates quite far down the line of authority tap tele-
phones without the specific approval of the head of the agency and
certainly without specific approval of the cabinet officer in charge
of the department. :

I still feel quite strongly that no Government agency should
tap a telephone unless it is specifically approved in each instance by
the Attorney General. This would certainly ciroumseribe promiscuous
wiretapping on the part of Government agencies and would centralize
in one place, the Attorney General's office, a record of any phone taps
which have been placed by a Govermnent agency.

As you are aware, in the case of the FBI we do not request
phone taps except in cases involving kidna and espionage. This
has been predicated uno my theory that when the life of an individval
or the life of the Nation is in peril a phone tap is justified for
intelligence purposes as any information obtained over a phone tap
cannot be used in the trial of a criminal case.

? RE: y Senate-Select Committee ()

FA { San stu Ay | IFS a

Qn the afternoon of August 19, 1975, Jon EllI£ of the
. SSC staff, telephoned me to report that the Committee has
decided to defer on its pending request for the identity of
various so-called "recipient-source”™ witnesses in the COINTEL
il program. .

Mr. E1lif also emphasized that he wished to apologize
fs to the Attorney General for possibly misstating the grounds
4 2 as to why the Committee and the staff had decided to reject
>? the proposals apparently agreed upon by Senator Church and
ee

fot the Attorney General.

boty Finally, I noted to John ELLi£ that I continue to have
F 2 difficulty in understanding why the staff insists that they

th

[i= need further witnesses to establish any possible "damage" to
the targets of the COINTEL program. Eliif-finally agreed

A that since they do know the names and identities of the targets, ji ps

& the latter probably would be the best witnesses on this issue — f: (

D in any event. Nonetheless, ELlif did stress that it.is possible CA,
that later on in the fall, the Committee and its staffi may choose '

to come back and press its demands for the right to interview

the recipient-source witnesses.

was from the Chairman of the Senate Select Committee for access
to files for Senators that any modification of that request

By a prior oral arrangement between Mr. Mark oral
Gitenstein, Staff Member, Senate Select Committee (SSC), andl.
Me. W. BR. Wannail, Assistant Director, Intelligence Division ( NID);
a briefing was scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on 8/28/75. This
briefing was to consist of a discussion of the various indices
maintained, and..operated.by the FBI. “Information pertaining
to these indices had previously been submitted the SSC by
letterhead memorandum dated July 17, 1975, and documents
pertaining to the indices were made available for review by
appropriately cleared SSC Staff Members at FBI Headquarters.

This briefing was held in the conference room of
the INTD, JEH Building, on 8/28/75 during the approximate
period 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m, Present at this meeting were ha
Assistant Director W. 8. Wannali, Section Chief J, G@. Deegan 3
Unit Chief E, P, Grigalus, SA K. A. Mendenhall, all of the 4 .
INTD, Mark Gitenstein, Michael Epstein, and Martha Talley,
Staff Members of the SSC.

gir

Main items of discussion during this briefing gt
centered around the Rabble Rouser Index (RRI), later known as
the Agitator Index (AT); the” Key Activist. Program (KAP), the
Security. Index (SI), and the Administ€ative ‘Index (ADEX). The
origin and “implementation of the above-mentioned indices and
the KAP were discussed and Mr. Wannall offered background
information and historical reasoning as to the necessity for
implementing these indices and the KAP. Mr. Deegan answered
questions pertaining to the AI and Messts Grigalus and
Mendenhall answered questions pertaining to the KAP, the SI,
and ADEX, which were raised by the SSC TC. Members. nl Me

Memorandum to Mr. W. R. Wannali
Re: Senstudy 75
62-116395

were advised there is no plan of action in the FBI for the
apprehension of the individuals so listed. The SSC Staff
Members were advised individuals currently listed on the
ADEX would merely be afforded priority investigative attention
during any national emergency which should occur; however,
they would not be apprehended. SSC Staff Members also
indicated they felt criteria for inclusion on the ADEX
when first established were the same as the criteria for
inclusion on the old SI. They were advised when the ADEX
PYogram was initiated the criteria were basically the same;
however, after closely following the matter for a period
of approximately 8 months, the criteria were reevaluated
and revised So only individuals who were considered
currently dangerous were to be included on the ADEX.

SSC Staff Members were also advised that the SI was

stored "off-line" in the Bureau's computers and as such
was utilized in a strictly in-house operation. Informa-
tion was therefore not available to outside agencies or
terminals tied in with the Bureau's computer system,

Staff Members also indicated from a review of material
made available to them it appeared as though there was
friction between the Bureau and the Department during the
late 1940s and early 1950s with respect to establishing
guidelines and policy in connection with the SI and they
desired to know what the cause of this friction was. INTD
representatives present advised they were unaware of the
cause of any such friction.

Other questions similar to those above were asked
by the SSC Staff Members and were answered by INTD personnel
present. In addition the following nine questions were asked
by the SSC Staff Members and Mr. Wannall indicated answers
would be obtained and orally furnished:

i

1. Was there a memorandum which established the
RRI and does it indicate Mr. Hoover appeared before the
Civil Unrest Commission? (A memorandum dated 3/67 from
C. D. Brennan to Mr, W. C. Sullivan indicates - Hoover
instructed an index be compiled of racial agitators; however,
the memorandum does not indicate Mr. Hoover appeared before
the Civil Unrest Commission.)

Memorandum to Mr. W. R. Wannall
Re: Senstudy 75
62-116395

2. Was there a memorandum concerning the
expansion of the AI to include individuals of local
prominence? (Memorandum of G. C. Moore to Mr. W. C.
Sullivan dated 11/22/67 requested approval of an SAC
letter for expanding the AI to include local leaders as
well as national leaders involved in racial disorders.)

3. Were individuais included on both the AI and
the SI and, if so, wasn't this a duplication of effort?
(Individuals were included on both the AI and the SI;
however, this was not necessarily a duplication of effort
inasmuch as the SI was to be utilized in the apprehension
and detention of individuals considered dangerous and the
AI was an administrative aid to follow the activities and
movement of individuals attempting to cause racial
disorders.)

4. When did the SI become automated and was the &
Reserve Index (RI) ever automated? (The SI became automated
during the early 1950s and was updated throughout the years
with the advancement of computer technology and purchase
by the Bureau of more advanced computers. Following
discontinuance of the SI the ADEX was continued in the
computer systems in an "off-line" manner. The RI-A-
was placed on automatic data processing (ADP) equipment
the same as the SI. RI-B was maintained at the field
level only and was never placed in the ADP equipment.)

5. Has the Bureau's copy of the Attorney General's
portfolio concerning the Emergency Detention Program (EDP)
been returned? (One copy of the Attorney General's
portfolio concerning the EDP has been located and is
currently maintained in the Security Informant Unit of
the IS-2 Section, INTD.)

6. Who were the Bureau individuals who

(a) maintained the Attorney General's portfolio during
1968 and (b) involved with the EDP during the 1940s?
(The following individuals were identified through
review of pertinent communications during time pexpod
in question: (a) 1968 - C. D. Brennan, P. F. Enlow,
T, P, Rosack; (b) 1946-D. M. Ladd, J. C. Strickland;
1948-Lish Whitson, W. H. Winterrowd, J. W. Yeagley.

Memorandum to Mr. W. R. Wannall
Re: Senstudy 75
62-~116395

7. When did the Department start reviewing and
approving the SI list? (Matters pertaining to the oid
Custodial Detention List were first referred to the
Department during March, 1941. Copies of the SI were
submitted to the Department during 1951 and the Department,
on a continuing basis, reviewed matters pertaining to the
SI except for brief periods of time when funds and manpower
were not available until the SI was discontinued in 1971.)

8. Was there a form used by the Department
concerning the continuance or cancellation of individuals
on the SI and, if so, what does the form look like?
(Forms were utilized and copies have been obtained to
exhibit to SSC Staff Members.)

9. Do we have a copy of the form for including
or deleting an individual from the AI? (FD-397 was
utilized with the AI. A copy of this form will be
exhibited to SSC Staff Members.)

At the closure of this briefing SSC Staff Members
expressed their appreciation to the Bureau personnel present
and indicated the briefing had furnished them a better
understanding of the Bureau's utilization of the above
indices and the KAP.

ACTION:

With your approval and in accordance with your
previous instructions the Senstudy Unit will initiate contact
with Mr. Gitenstein so answers relating to the above nine
questions may be orally provided to the above-named SSC
Staff Members.

On 8/22/75, John T. ELLI££, Task Force Director for

the Domestic Intelligence Task Force of the Senate Select Com

mittee, advised that regarding proposed plans for testimony

by Bureau officials before the Senate Select Committee that

the Committee tentatively scheduled hearings for mid-October.

He cited October 16th as being the approximate date. Ini-

tially, according to E11iff, hearings. concerning the Bureau

were to have been initiated in the first week of October but

the Staff Members did not have the necessary background in-

formation to conduct the hearings at that time and instead

scheduled hearings. concerning IRS for early October. Z )
(

ELLif£ indicated that the tentative format for
these hearings would be to furnish the Bureau an outline of
or a series of questions pertaining to the area to be cover
in testimony prior to our appearance. He indicated that the,.
hearings would cover a narrow topic on any given day so that
a Bureau official could be briefed and r md to questions
raised concerning the particular subject m Eyer

ELLif£ indicated that typical subj chee of hearings
concerning the FBI would be a one-day hearin vot on political

abuse or a series of hearings on COIN |

ELLif££ indicated that it was the Committee's intent
to continue hearings regarding the FBI into mid-December once
they are initiated with the Bureau testifying at least once
a week during that period. He advised they also envisioned
the initial hearing as setting forth what the scope of the
Senate Select Committee inquiry had been into the FBI and of
topics to be covered by hearings. Elliff felt this would
inform the House Select Committee of what areas erent

On 8/25/75, SA Daly determined from Michael
Epstein of the Senate Select Committee that this
particular interview was not considered an "abuse"
interview and if the Bureau so desired, they could have
a representative present during the interview. Accord-
ingly, Recommendation #2 in this memorandum should be
changed to show that an Agent may, in fact, be present.

It is the Committee's intention t6 insert in some of the
blanks in the documents an identifying description of IRS
personnel who assisted the FBI in’certain instances, such
as “an IRS Special Agent" or "an IRS Inspector". We will
make these identifications. based upon our notes from the
"documents, and will supply you with copies of the documents .
in which such descriptions have béen typed in order that
you may check the accuracy of the descriptions. In this
way, we will avoid public identification of the IRS per-
sonnel even though Bureau agreement has previously been
obtained that these individuals are not "sources".

Dear Mr. Daly:

Enclosed is a list of documents which the Senate Select
commbbtes. on Intelligence Activities may decide to declassity
or its public hearings on the Huston Plan. We invite your
opinion on any sections which you think ought to be sanitized
before declassification. Of course, the great majority of
key documents on the Huston Plan are already a matter of public
record,

Since these hearings may be held as early as September 23rd
and certainly by early October, your quick response would be
most helpful. L

Dear Mike:

¥

The following two documents, which relate to the Martin
Luther King, dr. matter, are the subject of a pending Committee
‘request for documents: :

A. Airtel dated 2/12/62 from SAC, New York, to
Director, FBI, subject "Dr. Martin Luther King,
dr., SM-C (00:Atlanta) ;"and

B. Airtel dated 8/15/66 from SAC, New York, to
Director, FBI, subject “Communist Party, USA,
Counterintelligence Program, Internal Security
~ Cc (Stanley David Levison)."

- These two documents had been previously provided to the
Committee in heavily or almost completely excised form.
Virtually the entire contents of Item A. (a 3-page airtel)
were excised because "it could- result in identification of an
FBI informant," and more than 12 pages of Item B. (a 29-page
airtel) were excised because such portions contained information
which "tends to identify highly sensitive sources of continuing
value." A third document which is needed by the Committee, and
which would presumably also be provided by the Bureau only in
excised form is a New York field office letter te the Bureau
dated 6/21/62 as cited in the last paragraph of page 9 of the
10/11/62 memorandum from the SAC, Atlanta, to che Biledtox,
FBI, subject "Communist Infiltration of the S peas ian
Leadership Conference, IS-C (00: snes ay RECEWE!

Michael E. Shaheen, Jr.
Page 2 . September 16, 1975

The Bureau's position with respect to the excised portions
of Items A. and B. above was reiterated by FBI representatives
at our September 9 meeting, notwithstanding our position that
these materials were deemed to be absolutely essential to our
complete understanding of the King investigation. As you are
aware, several other documents previously provided to the

Committee contain conclusionary statements about Stanley Levison

as predicates for many of the actions taken with respect to
King, and it would appear that the withheld portions of

Items A. and B. above, as well as the 6/21/62 New York letter
described above, would contain the detailed bases for such
conclusions.

I am sure you would agree that the underlying facts
concerning Levison are vital in order that we can meet our
responsibilities to fully assess the propriety of the FBI's
activities with respect to this case. Accordingly, I would
_ appreciate your personal attention to this matter, including
your own examination of the three documents in question, and
hopefully, a determination by you that these documents should
be provided to the Committee in unexcised form (except | for the
names of so-called “live" informants).

An early resolution of this matter is essential, and I
would hope you can respond by the end of the week.

Sincerely,

Boar Sobdd

I have learned that the "Hunter matter, on which -———
I'm to ba interviewed, is presently under review for possible
eriminal prosecution by the Department of Justice. Accordingly,
since, while being associated with "Hunter", I was under Bureau
direction, I am requesting that an attorney be appointed for

that I can be reimbursed if I secure my own xs sl

Senate Select Committee (SSC) convened public
hearings 9-16-75, at which Chairman Frank Church an-
nounced the chief purpose of the inquiry was. to examine
the role of CIA disobeying direct orders of President
Nixon who had ordered the destruction of biological/
bacteriological agents and weapons of war by Presidential
Order, 11-25-69. Chairman Church referred to previous
executive testimony of Director Colby which established
that CIA had maintained a supply of approximately 6 grams
of shellfish toxin, a lethal agent, until June, 1975, in
apparent contravention of the Presidential Order of 1969.
The retention of the toxin had been ordered by a midlevel
employee without the knowledge of former Director Richard
Helms.

While Chairman Church stressed it is not the
purpose of SSC to denigrate the importance of the FBI
and the CIA of their contribution to the welfare of the
United States, he stated subsequent SSC heayings would
highlight the necessity that Federal law chdoppgnent and
intelligence agencies operate in a manner which

will not .
infringe upon the rights of American citizens, aan
“g2-Vb97S eel 7
Church added that SSC will . inate the pos- :
sibility of domestic abuse by these agencies and will draft" ~~

Memorandum to Mr. Adams from Legal Counsel
Re: SENSTUDY 75

CIA directive to destroy or impinge on his d&cision to
maintain the toxins and, further, the Presidential Order
was directed toward offensive biological weapons of war
in possession of the Department of Defense. Additionally,
Dr. Gordon pointed out that the shellfish toxin over
which he had custody was a chemical substance and could
not be classified as a biological weapon.

Former Director Helms will appear before SSC in
public session, 9-17-75.

exempts the raw files of the Bureau from inclusion in this

The SSC staff requests that materials be assembled on the

Mark Gitenstein or Art Harrigan of the SSC staff that response, in
such an instance, will be voluminous and should be refined by

I am advised, as usual, that because the SSC anticipates
early hearings on the materials specifically sought by this request,
this request enjoys urgent priority. Please prepare as prompt a .
response as possible. ,

{I am attaching the letter confirming the: oral advise that

the September 4, letter applies to the Bureau; that letter was

Dear Mike:

As Mark and you discussed today.on the phone,
it was the Committee's intent in Fritz Schwarz' letter to
you of September 4, 1975, that the FBI, as well as the
Internal Security Division, provide information pertaining
to the individuals and organizations listed in “that letter.
Of course this letter and the August 29 letter are modified
by my letter of September 10. Furthermore, ‘this request is
of the_highest priority and therefore we want to be kept

SUBJECT: Vodifieation of SSC Request

Attached is a letter from John ELLIfP of the SSc staff
which modifies the lancuaze of the Ausust 29, letter fron the S5¢'s
Chief Counsel Schwarg to the Attorney General. The last sentence
of the first paragraph of the August 29, letter read as follows:

. “Where an Internal Security Division request was.
made with respect to a person or organization on whom
the Internal Security Division or the PSL mxintained
or maintains a file, we would appreciate the cpportu-
nity to review the entire file". (emphasis mine)

The modification of the first paragraph effected by the attached
letter deletes the words “or the FSi" as underlined above. Such
a modification exempts the raw files of the Bureau from inclusion
in this request. The request still requires response by the
Bureau for "all documents" in its possession as requested of the
entire Department generally by the medified first paragraph.

David Bushong, who identified himself as a Senate

9/10/75 that the Bureau determine the listing for telephone
number 714-756-3388 in Rancho, Santa Fe, California, and the
listing for Post Office Box 515 in Rancho, Santa Fe, California.
Bushong indicated that the fact he was attached to the Senate
Select Committee could be verified by inquiry with Staff Director
Bill Miller or Security Officer Ben Marshall of that Committee. i
Mark Gitenstein of the Senate Select Committee was
telephonically contacted by SA Paul V. Daly and advised of the
request received from David Bushong. He was informed that the
Bureau did not have authority to conduct an investigation for
the Senate Select Committee in the absence of instructions from
the Attorney General and that the Bureau would not conduct
an investigation in the absence of same. Gitenstein agreed that
the Bureau should not conduct the investigation and indicated he
would bring this to the attention of Bushong.

Subsequently, ASAC Arthur Barger of the San Diego
Office telephonically advised he had been contacted by David
Bushong and asked to make available to him information he had
requested the Bureau to furnish. Barger was informed that the
Committee had been notified that this was an improper request
and that the Bureau was not going to catit aps He was told to

RE: SENSTUDY 75

_ Subsequently, Gitenstein telephonically recontacted
SA Paul V. Daly and advised that the request for investigation
had been done "behind his and E11if£'s back" apparently referring
to John EL11iff£, Task Force Director for the Senate Select Com-
mittee. He indicated that this request. had been discussed with
the Deputy Attorney General's Office and was an investigation
being. conducted by Senate Tower and Kurt Smothers, Minority
Counsel. He requested that SA Daly contact Michael E. Shaheen,
Jr., Special Counsel for Intelligence Coordination in the De-
partment, to verify that arrangements have been made for the
Bureau to conduct this investigation.

; SA Daly contacted Shaheen and Shaheen advised that >
he knew nothing of this request. Shaheen was informed that
absent specific instructions from the Attorney General the
Bureau would not conduct the requested investigation and
Shaheen agreed that this was the proper position for the
Bureau. Shaheen was informed that the Senate Select Com-
mittee Staff Member conducting the investigation was David
Bushong and Shaheen stated that he knew Bushong and Bushong
had formerly been the Administrative Assistant to former
Attorney General William Saxbe.

Subsequently, John Bayley, Assistant Minority
Counsel for the Senate Select Committee, telephonically con-
tacted SA Daly and apologized for the request that the Bureau
conduct an investigation for the Senate Select Committee and
he indicated that he thought arrangements had been made for
this investigation through the Deputy Attorney General's Office.
Bushong advised that Senator Tower was currently attempting to
locate the Attorney General to straighten out this particular
problem and apparently arrange for the Bureau to conduct such
an investigation.
